Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius(孔子). Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his great contribution to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time, only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius' lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. "When I'm with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them."

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study,"All study but no thinking makes people puzzled. All thinking but no study makes people lazy."

Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners."A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others," he said.

Every morning many girls in the African country of Zimbabwe(津巴布韦) rise with the sun and go to fetch water for their families. They have to walk many miles and carry the water home on their heads. Where they live, there is no running water they can get at all.

"You have to relax your neck and head and make them follow the load(负荷)," one girl told me,"It is easy for you to do that if you practice for many times." I have lived in Zimbabwe all my life. I have made efforts many times and I have also practiced it for long. But it was not easy at all.

In reality, water is not the only thing that requires head-balancing skills in everyday life. In most of these villages there is no electricity for cooking so fire wood is used instead. The girls must collect and carry it back to their villages. They insist the easiest way to do this is on their heads.

Even at school head-balancing skills come in handy. At a school I saw a group of girls fetching bags of sand that were to be used to build a new classroom. They carried these bags with ease.

Girls in many countries worldwide prefer to carry things on their heads. They are taught this skill at a young age and grow up to have strong necks and great posture. For these girls balance is simply a way of life.

Many people enjoy taking trips by themselves. Unluckily, they do not always have the best 1 .Instead, people should consider group tours. Taking a group tour is a wise choice for people to enjoy themselves.

First, group tours plan travelers' routes, so people don't have to 2 where they are going next or how they are getting there. They can just relax and enjoy their trip.3 , my family once took a group tour to China. The travel agency(旅行社) took care of everything for us. We just looked at the schedule the travel agency had provided and followed it. Thanks to the travel agency, we had a 4 trip. This made things easier for my father since he didn't have to worry about where we would go next and stay at night.

Another 5 of group tours is that they allow people to communicate with one another while people are travelling. Travelers are able to develop friendship with people  566 they are travelling together for a number of days. As I know, my parents visited Russia on a group tour for their honeymoon(蜜月). They met another couple on that trip, and everyone had a great time together. Even after many years, they still 7 together from time to time.

In short, there is 8 better than a group tour when people are travelling. Group tours schedule everything on the trip, and they give us the 9 to meet others and make friends with them. Group tours are the 10 way to travel when people are taking a trip.

Dear Tom,

I'm glad to hear that you' ll come to China. You said you wanted to learn about the 1 in China.Now, let me tell you some.

China is a country with a long history and there are many customs. When you meet your friends, you should 2 each other and say" hello" instead of shaking hands frequently. When you eat at a friend's home, you should pay attention to the 3 . You should use your right hand to hold chopsticks. It's polite to eat all the food in your bowl. It's best not to make noise when eating. Don't hit bowls or plates with chopsticks. This is 4 . After dinner, the host usually makes tea for the guests. When you leave, you should say goodbye to the host politely. If your friends invite you to the party, you'd better arrive a little 5 ,5 to 10 minutes in advance. You can bring a small gift to your friends. But your friends won't open presents immediately. This is different from other foreign countries.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you obey these, I think you' ll have a great time in China.

Yours,

Li Hua

(Xia Dong: Xia   Li Lei: Li)

Xia: Hi, Li Lei, how are you finding the life in Grade 9?

Li: The one problem is that I just don't seem to have enough time for everything. There are basketball games, the music club, the school party...

Xia: Wow, you' ve got a lot on.   And I find I always forget something.

Li: Me too. We need to do something about it. My father told me that I should make a to-do list. What do you think?

Xia: 

Li: And how about recording the time it takes to do the activities?  What's your opinion?

Xia: Great idea. And I' ve got two more ideas. Number one, only do one thing at a time. That way, you' ll get things done more quickly. For example, if you do your homework while watching TV, it will just take longer to finish your homework.

Li: Nice ideas！

Xia: How about we try all of them for a week and see if things get better?

Li: OK.
